Versa: This is Nissan's first U.S. entry in the B segment. But it has an advantage over competitors such as the Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris: It has 93.9 cubic feet of interior space vs. 87.1 in the Yaris and 90.0 in the Fit.

The 2007 Versa is built on a global platform that Nissan shares with Renault. Two models are offered: a hatchback, on sale in July, and a sedan, which goes on sale later this year.

The vehicle is powered by a 122-hp, 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Three transmissions are offered: a six-speed manual, a four-speed automatic and a continuously variable transmission.

Cube: Nissan is expected to bring this small, boxy car to the United States in the 2009 model year to compete against the Scion xB. Sources say it will be powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a CVT.

Sentra: Nissan's redesigned compact sedan finally makes it to market a year later than expected. The automaker delayed production when the car's exterior fared poorly in U.S. clinics. Nissan executives think they now have a winner.

The 2007 Sentra, built on the company's new C platform, is longer, wider and taller than the current model.

The Sentra also has a new, more powerful engine. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine makes about 135 hp and 140 pounds-feet of torque. The current 1.8-liter four-cylinder makes 126 hp and 124 pounds-feet of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard; a CVT is optional. Side-impact curtain airbags are standard.

An SE-R performance model is expected to be added for the 2008 model year.

Altima: The redesigned 2007 Altima is the first Nissan developed on the company's new D platform. It also is the first Nissan-branded vehicle to receive the company's new 3.5-liter V-6 engine.

The 2007 Altima sits on a one-inch-shorter wheelbase, but the company says the redesigned car has the same interior space as the current model. The new front suspension is designed to reduce torque steer; the rear suspension is designed to improve handling.

Standard interior amenities include softer materials such as padded armrests, plusher seats and side-impact curtain airbags. Options include a push-button ignition, a hands-free phone system and a nine-speaker Bose audio system.

The new V-6 engine provides about 265 hp, compared with 250 hp for the current V-6. A new six-speed manual transmission is standard; a CVT is optional.

A hybrid model will be available in the winter.

Maxima: The 2007 Maxima is reskinned; a CVT is standard. A redesign is expected for the 2009 model year.

350Z: The sports car is scheduled to be redesigned for either the 2009 or 2010 model year.

GT-R: Much to the chagrin of Infiniti dealers, the upcoming all-wheel-drive GT-R performance car will be badged as a Nissan. The next-generation GT-R is expected to go on sale in the United States as a 2008 model. The sticker price is expected to be about $60,000.

Infiniti dealers desperately wanted the GT-R as a halo for the brand.

Quest: The company spent more than $60 million to rework the interior of the 2007 Quest. Among other changes, it relocated the gauges from the center of the instrument cluster to in front of the driver. Potential buyers were turned off by the location.

The Quest is due for a redesign for the 2010 model year.

Small crossover: Smaller than the Murano, this front-wheel-drive crossover is due to hit the United States in the 2008 or 2009 model year. It will be powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. The vehicle may share a platform with the Versa.

Fuel cell vehicle: Nissan plans to deliver its first fuel cell vehicle to the United States in the 2008 or 2009 model year. It is unknown whether the fuel cell vehicle will be a separate model or a version of a new model, such as the small crossover vehicle.

Murano: The Murano is due for a redesign for the 2008 model year.

Baby boomer vehicle: Researchers at Nissan's design center have identified a target of consumers in their late 50s to 60s who want a functional vehicle to meet nearly all needs. This person wants a comfortable vehicle that is not yet offered - a combination of the Murano crossover, Xterra SUV and Titan pickup. Seats positioned for a good view of the road are important. The designers are sketching a vehicle around these people. No timetable has been mentioned.

Xterra: The Xterra will be freshened for the 2009 or 2010 model year.

Pathfinder: The SUV gets a freshening for the 2008 model year and a redesign for the 2010 or 2011 model year.

Armada: The full-sized SUV may be freshened for the 2008 model year; a redesign is expected for the 2010 model year.

Frontier: The Frontier pickup receives a freshening for the 2008 model year.

Titan: A diesel may be offered in the 2008 model year. The Titan pickup is due for a redesign for the 2010 model year. The company also is studying medium- and heavy-duty versions of the truck.
